The Recorder Of Deeds Office.
THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE RECORDER AND HI


THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE RECORDER AND HIS
DEPUTY.
In answer to inquiries at the Recorder Of Deeds
Office yesterday it was given out that the deputy
Mr.. Longuen, would return to New York in few
days, and that Recorder Trotter, who has been
seriously Ill, would be on duty some time this
week. It seems that few days ago Mr. Trotter
sent to Mr.. Longuen to prepare his accounts, with
the view Of the recorder taking the full charge Of
the Office himself. From this fact, coupled with
the announcement that the deputy contemplated
returning to New York, arose the rumor that he
had been removed, but this rumor is denied at the
Office and 1t is asserted that Mr. Longuen (who is
MI. Matthews brother-in-lawk accepted the posi-
tiOn only during Mr.. Trotter's disability. Mr.. Trot-
ter sent to the Office day before yesterday note,
stating that he had assumed full charge OF the
Office and this was, by his direction, signed by all
the employees Of the Office. This causes some COM
ment, and the deduction Is drawn therefrom that
the relations between the recorder and his deputy
are not OF the most amtcable character 1t is
claimed, however, that In this action on his part
the recorder was only following custom for the
purpose OF having the evidence that the employees
had been informed Of the fact that he was person.
ally In charge OF the Office.

Macdonald thinks there is an excellent chance OF
the democrats adding Minnesota to the democratic

his amaze, he again beheld the white
ldeer standing under the shadow of
q fir tree on the opposite side Of the
open. space. It's eyes were fixed upon
him. and the moment he met them a,
spell seemed to5come over him which
he could not resist. "A strange fasci-
pnation drew him toward The beautiful
creature. The white deer did not
stir until the hunter had APP

turned slowly and led the way into

moments, while old Tom, with his
empty rifle over his shoulder, follow
ed as in q dream. All sense OF hunger
and fatigue had departed. He had no
thoughts, no feelings, save an uncon-
querable desire to follow the mys-
terious creature whose life he had so
lately sought.
On and on through the deep forest
went this strangely assorted pair.
Tom realized that he was lost, that
he was in a, part of the mounta aims
where he had never been before, but
still he felt the most utter trust in
his white guide He had no fear; q
sense Of safety, ofjoy, Of expectation

of some old Indian or the ghost OF
some dusk maiden of the forest should
rise up in my path! Half laughing to
himself at such fancies. the old man
bent his eyes more keenly upon the
winding track Of the deer and the
thick coverts before him. Hungry as
he was, he did not venture to stop
and take the frozen lunch from his
pouch lest the game might be hiding
IN some covert close at hand, and
spring away while he was off his guard.
The tracks kept growing fresher and
Old Tom was sure he could not be far
from the game now, so he resolved to
keep on, and il fortune attended him,
eat his MONDAY lunch sitting upon
the warm carcass of his Christmas
deer.
An hour passed still no deer. Tom
was faint and nearly falnished. There
seemed to be little clearing ahead,
and he resolved if he did not come up
on the game there he would stop and
eat his luncheon. He crept cautious

and looked out. Could he believe his
eyes? There, standing with appraised
head and dilated nostrils, facing at
nearly right angles to him, it's heaving

deadly rifle, stood a white deer. Old

and with trembling hands he raised
the gun to his shoulder. The sight
